Introduction to the Board as a wrestling fan

Wrestling Fans & Motivations
Another thing to point out is that watching wrestling from the past almost makes you lend an analytical eye. Watching things live gives you a better chance to get caught up in the show, while a 20 year old show has an almost impossible task in trying to get you hooked emotionally.

Wrestling Fans & Motivations
This is a funny example, because while I haven't seen Interstellar yet, plenty of the reviews make it seem like the sort of half-baked sci-fi that falls apart if you think too hard, kind of like Prometheus (and that's been a problem for Nolan himself previously). That's the risk you run when you aim high, and when the souffle falls, it can take the emotional/awe-inspiring moments with it. I can't get onboard with "don't overthink" enjoyment for movies that aim higher than popcorn status, because it makes it hard to call a spade a spade. Movies that give me a lot to think about make me think a lot. I more frequently "fall for" character dramas and comedies than high-concept, high-plot action and sci-fi, because they have less of a framework to undermine, but I'm more impressed when a complex construction doesn't fall apart. Use whatever example you want, my point still stands. I've seen these problems with Interstellar lists going around online and I just don't understand people. Outside of the paradox ninety percent of these complains are from people who seem to have either no imagination or no ability to think for themselves. I LOVED this movie.

Wrestling Fans & Motivations
I look at wrestling the same way I look at movies. Some movies and wrestling match I look at and start picking it apart. Some I watch and just think that I am enjoying this. The very best are the ones where you are legit cheering the good guys and booing the villains. If you are one of those assholes that can sit through something like Interstellar and just pick it apart and not be rooting for Murphy in the end or whatever film you actually gets you, if nothing can make you cheer for a babyface in wrestling and hope that a heel loses, than you are in a position to always watch things as a critic. I do kind of feel bad for you in that case, but I do understand it. I just think you are missing out.

Worst Professional Wrestler Ever?
I have a real problem with this thread and the worst awards in the WON. Just because the worst actually wrestler is someone that none of you have probably seen. The worst indie wrestler is probably doing indie shots in Texas or Portugal or something.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
My favourite show ever and I actually just recorded a podcast about it yesterday. 1) Hogan was in the midcard, so they could do the angle with Zeus to sell you on No Holds Barred: The Match, The Movie. Also, Warrior was hella over so giving him and Andre the main event made sense to test him. 2) Tully was fired for failing a drug test. Also note, that Akeem was replaced by Bad News Brown due to injury and Barry Windham was replaced by Earthquake due to Windham leaving to deal with his family counterfeit issues. By the way, that main event of The Ultimate Warriors against The Heenan Family is one of my favourite matches ever!

Hiroshi Tanahashi
I still am not sure in what way Tanahashi is better than Nakamura? Nakamura smokes him in every category of wrestling.
